What to understand
Some people may qualify for individual rehabilitation, while others may be deemed rehabilitated under specific conditions. The offence, time elapsed and sentence completion affect the analysis.
What to prepare
Gather certified court records, police certificates and evidence of when all parts of the sentence ended. Compare your case with the current eligibility rules.
Important to know
Time passing alone does not resolve every case. Qualified advice is especially important where offence equivalency is disputed.
Check the official requirements
Program rules, eligibility, fees and processing times may change. This guide is general information, not legal advice or a guarantee of any outcome. Check the current government instructions before applying.
